Building information modeling and quantity takeoff

July 23, 2010 - PRLog -- BIM stands for Building Information modeling. Here we are discussing about this modeling oriented estimating solution which is not a fashionable word for a business now-a-days; rather it becomes the essential part for a business. As the modeling part is essential for starting a construction, modeling oriented estimating solution is so important for handling a construction business. And Quantity Takeoff is that software which performs the above mentioned functions automatically.

About Quantity takeoff

General Contractors, Subcontractors, Cost Consultants, and Quantity Surveyors often done their job perfectly with the help of the software named Quantity takeoff. They utilize it actively as part of the construction process. They use it for counting the number of items associated with a particular construction project, determining the associated materials and labor costs, and formulating a bid (or estimate) as part of the bidding process. Quantity takeoff is also applied to the pricing process.
